Artist Bhagya Ajaikumar explains how good curation balances individual expression and collective vision

Launched in 2014, PhotoSparks is a weekly feature from YourStory, with photographs that celebrate the spirit of creativity and innovation. In the earlier 1,030 posts, we featured an art festival, cartoon gallery. world music festival, telecom expo, millets fair, climate change expo, wildlife conference, startup festival, Diwali rangoli, and jazz festival.

The Venkatappa and Swasti art galleries in Bengaluru recently hosted the group exhibition titled Bhoomi (see our coverage of earlier exhibitions at Venkatappa gallery here). It was curated by Bhagya Ajaikumar and Pradeep Kumar DM, with works by around 40 artists.

The Swasti gallery was launched in Bengaluru in 2007 to promote art and raise funds for the HCG Foundation as support for cancer patients. Since 2018, Swasti has also conducted art therapy events for cancer patients and their family members.

Dedicated art space in a hospital setting gives a positive energy to patients and their family members. With that goal in mind, Swasti has been actively involved in organising art shows, camps and workshops, with artists coming from across the country and abroad.

“I am currently planning and working on several exciting projects, both as an artist and a curator. This includes a solo presentation titled THANDAV, featuring my art creations inspired by classical Indian dance,” Ajaikumar tells YourStory.

The exhibition will be presented at the RASA cultural festival at Prestige Auditorium in Bengaluru, January 8-10. 2027. She is also curating the upcoming third International KALA Symposium in Mysuru.

“With the vision of art as a catalyst for healing and development, the symposium is conceived as a creative platform connecting fine art, healthcare philanthropy, and grassroots community development.
